American Heritage Girls

Welcome to Troop MS0408

American Heritage Girls is the premier national character development organization for girls ages 5 to 18 that embraces Christian values and encourages family involvement.

The AHG experience will provide the girls with the opportunity for fun and growth with events such as camping trips, community service projects, patriotic salutes, and many other activities. All AHG events are designed to breathe life into the AHG Oath and nurture the girls’ relationship with God and family.

AHG Troop MS0408 meets bi-weekly to learn new skills, perform service projects, grow in their faith, develop leadership skill, experience teamwork, build friendships and strengthen their character. Girls earn badges by completing certain milestone activities at each program level in diverse areas of interest.

Life Skills

AHG helps girls acquire skills that will assist them in all areas of life. These skills may include how to use a computer, sew on a button, protect themselves, learn about their ancestors or what it takes to be an astronaut. The Badge program provides opportunities for girls to interact across age groups, as older girls teach younger girls. Each Badge can be earned at four different levels (Tenderheart, Explorer, Pioneer, and Patriot).

Social Development

Girls love having fun with their friends! Many girls say that being with other girls in Troop meetings, field trips, camp-outs and special events is their favorite part of being an American Heritage Girl. Each Troop provides plenty of opportunities throughout the year for every girl to make friends and enjoy spending time with them!

Girl Leadership

AHG wants every girl to share her talents and ideas to make her Troop the best it can be! AHG's multi-level Troop structure offers many opportunities for girls to experience different leadership roles. As a girl ages through the program, her leadership opportunities and responsibilities increase accordingly. These lessons carry through to all areas of a girl's life: in her home, as a citizen of our country, as a member of her church, and even as a student in school!

Spiritual Development

AHG exists to help girls learn more about God, about how to walk in faith, and the need to seek God's will in our lives. Our hope is that each and every girl will experience the Lord in all parts of AHG -- the Oath, friends, Leaders, through service, Religious Recognitions programs, and even Badge work! AHG helps girls to live their lives for God! We encourage you to look around our site and learn a little about who we are and the program we offer. Our Troop is regularly adding new members, and we welcome inquiries about joining.
